whenever spring begins is a new year celebration for all my dear "persian" frens...
this new year, "nowrooz" known ages ago as a day to celebrate a new chapter of life along with love ones. the celebration which starts on the 3rd wednesday every month of march will be lasted 13 days.
i've been invited to many-many new year parties but this is kinda cool as they'll prepare 7 uniques and beautiful stuffs (put on table) that hv own significant & signature. those 7 (my fave number;o) for bringing luck to your year. and that 7 stuffs must start with letter "s" as in "persian" which is the combination of something sweets. what i love about this culture, is the creativity of coordinating and arranging those 7 stuffs with candles, mirror and glass bowls. and for the "bestest luck ever" you might wanna get some goldfish, put them in a glass bowl and stare at them for hours. well, it does sound superstitious, but heck worth trying (am focus all my energy to those goldfish just wanna make sure luck is on myside this year, but it seems none of them staring back at me...)
and as for candles are the symbolic of happines and brighter future...
well, to be frank...this like any other parties... people get together, been introduced, chat and drinking, laughing and flirting plus traditional musics been playing as background...but as for me the best part is with all of "that cool stuffs combination on table right in the middle of the room" you've kinda magical-mode...it was so cosy and relaxing...with less light and awesome smells came from the burning candles...
hence, this has been ban just like any other cool stuffs they've...
do you know that one time iran is one of the most cultured, artsy, poetsy country with some of best poems, "syair", paintings, musics and amazing story-telling...then
now, such a waste...for some political superficial reasons...
